I do hope you’ll drop by Crescent Moon on Valentine’s Day at 7 p.m. Here’s another sample of what I’ll read from Ghost Girl, “The Living Parent Emails Ghost Girl.”
I’ll also likely read from My Imaginary, like “In the New House.”
Jen Kindbom, editor of The Floorboard Review, has just added a new feature to her new literary magazine: interviews. I was delighted when she asked me to be one of the first poets and artists she featured in “The Ground Floor.”
On February 14 at 7 p.m. I will be reading at Crescent Moon with Mary K. Stillwell. Given the date, I will be reading love and anti-love poems from my new chapbook Ghost Girl (Pudding House, 2010), poems from my dissertation on Matilda Fletcher, and maybe some other new work or poems from my forthcoming chapbook Branding Girls (Finishing Line Press, 2011).
Here’s a sneak peek: In my chapbook Ghost Girl the poem “Ghost Girl Wonders if she’s Always had Bad Eyes” is a new love poem and a break-up poem that meditates on vision, how traveling becomes an inspiration to re-see the world around us. In the poem Ghost Girl flies to Florida to walk the white sands, tours a city garden of roses, and visits an art museum with an exhibit on artistic responds to Hurricane Katrina.
